    Actually, it applies to the US, too. "Spices" legally must be spices and not grains or other things.

    After I posted , I looked it up. I LOVE to see a place with great reviews from a few years back up to current! Makes me feel confident in their ability to be gluten-free.

    Would you review this on Find Me Gluten free? You can use the app or just go to it on line. If the restaurant isn't listed, there is a way to suggest it. I have done that and it works. Many of us look at that site/ app

    Ok guys! The original post was 3 years ago! Ingredients, manufacturing methods, labeling, etc. may have changed during that time. A lot of companies have really come a long way on gluten-free in the last 3-4 years.

    If you eat Cheerios, then you might be getting a small dose of gluten. It will depend on if you get one of the boxes with a lot of gluten or are lucky and get one that is <20 ppm.

    Never had an issue with Kraft cheeses. Maybe she shouldn't eat diary for a while? Celiac disease damages the part of the intestines that digest the lactose in cheese/dairy. It can take several months to get that ability back. Also, when you are new, it really could be anything. It could just be that she isn't digesting much of anything well...

    Were you tested for Celiac? Currently, there are no medically accepted tests for non- Celiac gluten intolerance. Gluten doesn't stay in your body and hide. It goes through the GI system just like any other food - so it probably comes out the other side in 24-48 hours. Depending on how slow your system works.

    People with Celiac are not supposed to eat regular oats. Regular oats are not gluten free. They must eat gluten free oats.

    Looked on-line for ingredients - looks like some flavors might have torula yeast. It should be gluten-free. Kraft is very good about listing if an ingredient comes from wheat. And of course, in the US, it is a law to label wheat.

    I just looked at my jar of Planter's dry roasted peanuts and there is nothing but peanuts listed as the ingredient. Only Brewer's yeast is not gluten free.

    It is the only thing you have eaten, so it can't be anything else? I eat it with no issues so I am not sure how you can be certain that is the problem. All I am saying is that its sort of "your word against mine and the company's word".

    I eat them with no issues and know several other Celiacs that eat them with no issue.

    Beer is never gluten free unless it is specially made with gluten free grains. Malt/ barley is not gluten free. Perhaps you should do a little reading about Celiac disease from reputable sources, like the University of Chicago Celiac Center? It sounds like you might not have a good understanding of gluten and Celiac.

    They were labeling some of the M&Ms gluten-free. They have a good allergy policy/protocol. I believe they said that special runs - like Christmas colors, for instance, might not be gluten-free as they are run on different machinery with other special flavors. This is in the US.

    Maybe minis are a bit different?

    Very very few medicines contain gluten. If it has no gluten ingredients, it is likely gluten-free.

    I don't think you can really blame Starbucks. You could have looked the ingredients or asked to see the ingredients, first. That is why they have the ingredient list on Starbucks.com. I think it was nice of them to send you a gift card. I guess where Starbucks is at fault is that the employees are supposed to tell you to check the ingredients or website...

    I wish your boyfriend hadn't diagnosed you. If he really was studying Celiac, he would know that isn't the way to be diagnosed. He would also understand the value of an official diagnosis for any autoimmune disorder. If you have been gluten-free for 8 months, perhaps some of these issues are not from gluten? Perhaps you have some other issue...

    Just a clarification - you say you don't react to soy sauce....are you talking about gluten-free soy sauce or regular soy sauce with wheat?

    There is no currently acceptable science to that theory. In fact, the company that originally tried to push the coffee one, admitted that the coffee they tested with was an instant coffee that contained gluten. I usually try to find actual scientific/ medical sources for my medical advice. " There is not yet reliable data about cross-reactivity....

    I have Celiac. It is not an allergy. But it is silly to give a waiter a long winded explanation. All they really want to know is if the cook needs to go to extra trouble to make my food safe. " Allergy" is a word they understand and often have a process to deal with. I just say that I have a medical need to be gluten-free. In the case of...

    Wow...I don't even know where to start.... I guess I will just say that - for those of you reading this comment, don't let one angry person be your source of info. The understanding of the gluten-free law is a bit off. First, it wasn't "changed" - we never had one before. The FDA has been investigating complaints on gluten-free foods...

    I have had it with no issues except I don't really like it. I had to add cheese! But I would get them in a pinch - like travelling.

    Oh! Barty! I am so sorry! I will miss you. I loved to think of you in your store. You always sounded so happy there. I had hoped to stop in some time. thank you for letting us know
